Surprising second round exit for Greg Anderson

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (March 19, 2006) -  After going to the final round in 
both of the first two races of the early 2006 season, three-time and 
reigning NHRA POWERade Pro Stock champion Greg Anderson exited the 37th 
annual NHRA ACDelco Gatornationals in a surprising second round loss to 
Greg Stanfield.

Against Dave Howard in the opening round, Anderson, behind the wheel of 
the KB Racing LLC, Summit Racing Equipment Pontiac GTO, covered the 
Gainesville Raceway in 6.664 seconds to take the win.

In the second round, Stanfield was away first at the green, gaining 
enough of an advantage to take the win light.  Anderson ran an elapsed 
time of 6.670 seconds to 6.669 seconds for Stanfield.

"We got beat at light and we got beat on the track," said Anderson after 
the disappointing loss.  "It adds up to losing in Pro Stock these days.  
He (Stanfield) did a heck of a job.  He made a great run.  He deserved 
to win the round.  It's that simple.   My hat's off to him and I hope he 
goes on and wins the race."

Anderson remains in the top spot (No. 1) in the POWERade Pro Stock point 
standings with 274 points, 75 points ahead of second place.
